` Application tiled January 12, 1882.' (No model.) I

To ali whom it may concern;-

Beit known that I, SIMON KEMPNER, of the city ot' Buffalo, in the county ot' Erie and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stock-Indicators for Manufacturers, dto., ot' which the following is a specitication.

This invention relates to a means for keeping, in a simple manner, a record,in manufacturing and otherestablishments, of the goods i received and sent out,so that thequantity and character of goods on hand can be easily ascertained. y In manufacturing establishments in which goods of various sizes and qualities are manufactured it is oftenvery diicult to dequality are on hand, and whether material to manufacture the goods called for is on hand. For instance,in clothing-manufactoriesitoften happens that more goods are sold of a certain size and quality than there are on hand, and it becomes necessary to determine whether the goods called for are in course of manufacture lor not, and, it' so, the quantity which is being manufactured and the amount of material onv hand for the further manufacture ot' goods of the same kind. To obtain correct answers to these inquiries it becomes necessary to examine the stock o n hand and the books kept in the different departments of the factory.`

The. object of my invention is to provide a simple means whereby a record can be kept of all these transactions, and whereby all such inquiries concerning any particular kind of goods are readily answered.

My invention consists, to that end, of an indicator or record of the peculiar construction hereinafter fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, consisting` of three sheets, Figure l represents the indi' cator or record which is kept at the oftice; Fig. 2, the indicator kept by the foreman; Fig. 3, the indicator kept in the stockroom.

The indicators or records represented by the accompan yin gdrawin gs are designed for use in a clothing-establislinient, and may of course be varied in accordance with the requirements of the business for which they are intended.

The indicator represented in Fig. l is intended to beused bythe person who has charge ofthe material from which garments are manufactured, and is provided with a space. A, in

-which are entered the num berof pieces of cloth purchased orprderednantlma spvawcnewm, in which are entered the number of pieces oify'calml'fliwfwew- 5 5 cgi\ ;QL.""'I-eiice a comparison of the entriesn in the spaces A and B will show whether all the pieces li mceived which were orticular lot to wliibl-lwiidi Qhiwriwgiiich are entered the nuipu uQ tlya Non? cloth which have been received, spacemlmin which are entered the ber of yards sold. Henceacoinparisonof th l entries in the spaces C, F, and G will sliow"""`a" glance the n nmherihiarflllhdime0 half of this lothaniigl a compL the entries iwi spaces aud l i re pieces ot' theysaiine gds. if V"any, may be ex# pected. An inspectionmofwthe.entresfinispace F will also show how many finished garm maybe epected ot' this lot of goods, as" th n u m bero fgriiei"ts"`"wh`dlimmbmdtf given number ot' yards can be approgimately determined by experienced persons. `wThe different lots ot' piece-goods arewdimstinwuishmby 8o niiinbersnietpewrsQ-ti aswindicated on the upper margin of the indicator.

crossing out or c,y ckling'oft the number which corresponds with l the entries.

The indicator represented in Fig. 2 is de signed to be used by the foreman or other person iii charge of the inanuiacturing-department. It is provided with a space, H,iu which entered the number ot' garments in course of ioo manufacture, and a space, M, in which are entered the number of garments finished. The

This indicator is further prof Co r of pieces sold, aimsab FTM* ,e entry to be made, thereby greatly simplifying the operation ot making 9o spaces K L Mare subdivided'for coats, vests, and pantaloons, and thel several sizes which are made of each, as clearly shown. This indicator bears the same number, letter, or character which the piece-goods lot bears from which the material is derived, and it bears, in addition, a number or igure distinguishing the ready-made lot which has been produced from such material.

The indicator represented in Fig. 3 is designed to beused by the stock-keeper, and is provided with a space, N, in which are entered the number of garments which were received of that particular lot, and a space, P, in Which are entered the number ot' garments sold, so

that a comparison ot' the entries in the spacesv Naud I? will show at a glance how many garments are contained in the lot. rlhe spaces N and P are subdivided for coats, vests, and pantaloons and the several sizes which are made of each, so that a comparison ot' these entries will show how many garments of each size are contained in the lot, thereby avoiding the necessity of counting` the garments. This stock-indicator bears the same number or letter as the indicator for the ready-made lot, with which it correspomls. This indicator is also provided with a space, O, which is subdivided into as many parts as there are traveling agents or salesmen, and iii which are entered the number of garnichts which each agent has received of' the particular lot to which the indicator refers, and a space, R, similarly arranged and subdivided, in which are entered the number of such garments Which have been returned by each agent.

The indicators are printed on stiff paper or card-board, and provided with an opening or other means, whereby they can be attached to the lot of goods to which they refer,vor the receptacles in which. such goods are contained.

By consulting these indicators the number of' garments of any given character which are on hand or in course ot' manufacture, and the quantity of material which -is on hand from which the garments'in question can be manufactured, can all be readily ascertained. The manner of making the entries is so simple that any person of ordinary'intelligence can make these entries, thereby doing away with the necessity of employing skilled book-keepers for the purpose.

I do not desire to claim in this application the particular construction of the indicators represented in Figs. l and 2, but which are described and shown for the purpose of more fully explaining the use of the indicator represented in Fig. '3.

I claim as my in vention l. Astock-room indicator for cloth and clothing provided with spaces N and O for entering the clothing received and sent out, both spaces being subdivided for coats, vests, and pantaloons, and each subdivision being again divided for the dit'terentsizes contained in the lot, substantially set forth.

2. A stock-room indicator provided with a space, N, for entering the goods received, a spa-ce,P, t'or entering the goods sold, a space, O, for entering the goods delivered to argents or traveling salesmen, and a space, R, for entering the goods returned by the same, substantially as set forth.
